Themes
Currently GMT.jl offers 3 themes (classic, modern, and dark). Classic theme has been the default up to version 0.34.0. Starting in 0.35.0 the so called (by GMT) modern theme has become the default. Differences may not be obvious at first (except for the default axes line width that was decreased to half-width [0.75p]) but it holds a significant improvement in its capability to scale the size of fonts and line thicknesses in function of figure size.
A third theme is the dark
mode. Besides these 3 themes the last two (modern and dark) can still be tweaked with some other parameters. Basically one can use the theme
as a function or as an option in the plot
(and its avatars) module.
theme(name; kwrgs...)
modern
: - This is the default theme (same as GMT modern theme but with thinner FRAME_PEN [0.75p])classic
: - The GMT classic themedrak
: - A modern theme variation with dark background.
On top of the modern mode variations (so far dark
only) one can set the following kwargs
options:
noticks
orno_ticks
: Axes will have annotations but no tick marksinner_ticks
orinnerticks
: - Ticks will be drawn inside the axes instead of outside.gray_grid
orgraygrid
: - When drawing grid line usegray
instead ofblack
save
: - Save the name in the directory printed in shell by gmt –show-userdir and make it permanent.reset
: - Remove the saved theme name and return to the defaultmodern
theme.
Note: Except save
and reset
, the changes operated by the kwargs
are temporary and operate only until an image is show
(n) or saved.
This function can be called alone, e.g. theme("dark")
or as an keyword option in the plot()
module. e.g. plot(..., theme=:dark)
or plot(..., theme=(modern, noticks=true))
